Abstract And Reviews of Macbeth
Abstract:
Macbeth begins as the heroic warrior who, together with Banquet, fights loyally in support of his king against rebels.Upon returning from his victory, Macbeth and Banquet encounter the three witches, who prophesy that Macbeth shall be thane of Cawdor, and king hereafter, and that Banquet’s children will succeed him on the throne.As Macbeth knows nothing of Cawdor’s part in the rebellion, the prophecies are incredible to him.However, with the first prophesy immediately confirmed be emissaries from Duncan, king of Scotland, Macbeth’s blood-thirsty ambition has been greatly stirred up by the witches’ miraculous prophesy.And when Duncan is on a visit to his castle, Macbeth, who is spurred on by Lady Macbeth, takes the chance to have the King murdered.But Macbeth soon finds that one crime is not enough to keep the crown for him.To keep his crown, he abandons reason to mindless savagery and plunges from covert to open slaughter.He murders Banquet and kills Mac duff’s wife and children and others.Thus, Macbeth has degenerated into a tyrant and mass murderer.While Macbeth flails about him, killing suspected as well as herself, in her sleep, hag-ridden by horror and remorse.Finally she commit herself suicide.Macbeth also experiences a kind of mental disturbance, haunted by the involved all the people of Scotland who are groaning under his yoke and longing for liberation.When the opposing forces march forward, the people eagerly join them in fighting against the tyranny.In the closing scene, Macbeth’s isolation becomes complete.As his castle is surrounded, Macbeth is reduced to a trapped animal and meets his final doom.Malcolm wins the kingship.Reviews:
After learning this drama during this semester, I learn a lot.And here I have some points to talk about.The first one is that I am very impressed by the wittiness of Duncan’s two sons, Malcolm and Dona Bain.When their father is murdered, the situation is a chaos.They don’t know who the murderer is and what their intentions are.They realize that they may be also in danger, as Dona Bain says to Malcolm: “What should be spoken here, where our fate, hid in an auger-hole, may rush, and seize us? Let’s away;our tears are not yet brew’s.” So when Macbeth suggests all meet in the hall together, Malcolm says that”let’s not consort with them” and he goes to England and Dona Bain to Ireland.As we can see, if they don’t flee, they may become the next persons to die, especially Malcolm, who is named by the king the Prince of Cumberland and will inherit the kingship after his father.As the old saying goes, revenge is a dish that should be eaten cold(君子报仇,十年不晚).The fact also proves that they make the right decision.Several years later, Malcolm comes back, fights with Macbeth and gains the kingship.What I want to say is not that we should revenge our enemies, but that we should keep in reason, keep calm.Think twice before you jump, especially in emergencies and disorders.Another point I’d like to talk about is the relationship between Macbeth and Lady Macbeth.At the very beginning, we can see that they have a very good
relationship.Before he comes back home, Macbeth has already send a letter home to Lady Macbeth to tell her the success of the war and the three witches’ prophesy.When Macbeth hesitate if murder Duncan or not, Lady Macbeth scolds him as coward.All these indicate that they are in a good relationship.After Duncan is killed, in order to clear the way to become the king, Macbeth plans to kill Banquet and his son.But he doesn’t tell his wife.Their relation is going badly.We can infer that Macbeth doesn’t tell Lady Macbeth his plan to kill Mac duff’s wife and children either.Because in Act Ⅴ Scene Ⅰ, when Lady Macbeth is sleep walking, she says: “The Thane of Fife had a wife: where is she now?”And finally when his wife is dead, he is very cold, just saying: “she could have died hereafter;there would have been a time for such a word.” How comes a loving couple of the old days becomes strangers!It’s the blood-thirsty ambition that counts.From this, I learn that sometimes ambition is not a good thing.And if you have a proper ambition, such as becoming a champion in a competition or getting the highest score in an exam, you should get it through proper means, such as practicing a lot and study hard but not through cheating.Also, I learn that wife is an important role in a family.She should always lead the husband to go the right way to get the right thing.Otherwise, she could be the one who is hurt mostly.

第三篇:麦克白英文分析
The tragedy of Macbeth
It’s well known that William Shakespeare is a famous and great dramatist who has wrote many splendid dramas.If someone ask us what his four tragic dramas are,we may blurt out Hamlet, Othello, King Lear, Macbeth without hesitation.All of the works could show Shakespeare’s great achievement in writing.I’m sure that most people are familiar with the classic sentence “To be or not to be, that’s a question” from Hamlet.The tragedy of Macbeth was the last tragic drama of four, which was wrote in 1606.It represented the tragedy of destiny and man’s character.The story was happened in Scotland and England.The leading character was named Macbeth who was regarded as a hero of Scotland by people after beating King Norway’s army for defending Scotland, and King Lear wanted to give him rich awards and great honor.But it was sad that in the meantime Macbeth came across three ugly witches in the wild who attempted wickedly to tempt Macbeth to commit.They told Macbeth he would be The Thane of Cawdor soon and the king of Scotland eventually, but the bad thing was it was his friend Banquo’s sons, not his sons, who would be the king of Scotland after Macbeth.At the beginning, Macbeth thought this was unbelievable and felt really confused.Before long King Duncan sent his nobleman Angus and Lennox to transmit his order that Macbeth was to be ennobled as The Thane of Cawdor soon.Obviously,Macbeth was so surprised and excited that he1
held the foolish view that the three witches’ prediction was true.Hence he wrote a letter to tell his wife what the three ugly witches had said to him and they premeditated to kill King Duncan to displace him.Perhaps it was a wrong coincidence that King Duncan and his servants went to Macbeth’s castle for a rest one night.Therefore,Macbeth got a good chance to rebel.The couple inebriated the two gatekeepers in King
Duncan’s room and killed King Duncan noiselessly with their swords in the midnight.When the morning awaked the people in the castle,everything surely been known in a little time.Macduff, the nobleman of Scotland, was the first who found King Duncan being killed.To conceal the truth, Macbeth made people mistakenly think that King Duncan was killed by the two gatekeepers and killed them immediately without asking others.Soon after Macbeth been the king of Scotland successfully, but he also worried about what the three witches had told him.So he must kill his friend Banquo and Banquo’s sons to guarantee his sons would be the king after him.One night his conspiracy succeeded again, Banquo was killed by Macbeth’s flunky.But as an old saying goes“What is done by night appears by day.”Some people including Macduff gradually doubted that Macbeth was the rebel who killed King Duncan to usurp the power.As a loyal nobleman of King Duncan, he absconded to England secretly to find Prince Malcolm, King Duncan’s son.While Macbeth known it, he
was so angry that killed Macduff ’s son and wife cruelly.Macduff arrived in England successfully and found the prince, because of their great effort, they smoothly got the help from England kingdom and organized a strong army back to Scotland to defeat Macbeth.But at this emergency moment, Macbeth still firmly believed what the three ugly witches had said to him“Macbeth shall never be vanquished until Great Birnam woods move to high Dunsinane hill.Shall come against him.”“Be bloody, bold, and resolute, laugh to scorn the power of man,for none of woman born shall harm Macbeth.”So as we can imagine where the miserable thing would go to next.With a strong hatred, Malcolm and Macduff decided to launch an attack against Macbeth near Birnam woods finally.In order to mistake the enemy, Malcolm commanded the soldiers to cut down the tree branches to hide themselves.Just as the three witches had said before,the Birnam woods moved by soldiers’ hands.What’s worse,Macduff said he was from his mother’s womb untimely ripped(it means Macduff was
caesarian rather than born normally by his mother)Until now, Macbeth known his serious fault, what a cruel, greedy, foolish man he was and deeply regretted his former actions.As we can expected,Macbeth been killed by Macduff finally and Malcolm as his father King Duncan became the king of Scotland.As far as I am concerned, the tragedy of Macbeth mostly causes by
his wild careerism.No matter how the three cunning witches bewitch his mind,how mightily his wife encourages him to rebel.If he contents with what he has got from the King Lear and has a thankful heart to keep conscience, everything will be much different.It is normal for us to pursue power, but what we should remember in our hearts is never be excessive.Macbeth has to make mistakes one after another to make up for what he does before.Therefore,he gradually kills more and more people, actually he is often afraid of what he has done.Maybe after Adam and Eve eating the fruits on the tree of good and evil, human can’t avoid making mistakes.From the drama we can see William Shakespeare character Macbeth in humanistic perspective.Macbeth is a full man not only should not be simply identified as a bad person, but also somewhat an innocent man who can arouse our sympathy.Although he kills many people,at least, for a long time he have grilled his conscience.In the end,due to his wild careerism keeps going on, what waits for him is finally finding being cheated by the three witches and lose his precious life sadly.
第四篇:《麦克白》读后感
读《麦克白》有感
我们都在这尘世中挣扎,只是你多了太多的捉弄和悲哀,致这世上所有的“麦克白”
在我短短几个月的大学生活中,我有很多很多的时间与书籍作伴,我在很多的书中获得了我从未经历过的人生感悟,这些感受也让我思考出很多受益终生的处事原则,我也在书中遇到了你——被命运捉弄的麦克白
人们常说,麦克白是一个十足的恶人——弑君、篡位、凶残、暴虐、嗜杀……几乎一无是处。但是如果你们翻开《麦克白》的剧本细细阅读一下,会发现真相其实不然,麦克白最初的时候是一名骁勇善战且赤胆忠心的苏格兰大将,曾几乎凭一己之力平定了一场叛乱。他用自己的生命保卫着他的国家和人民,那时的他是正义的化身,人民的英雄。
麦克白其实是苏格兰王室,国王邓肯的表弟。我觉得身为王室贵族的麦克白对王位肯定会有不一样的情绪。但是,这样的情绪应该是每一位王室都会有的吧,那时的麦克白一定是善良且正义的。
但人们的想法总是会因某种外在的因素而一触而发。真正触发麦克白这种念头的,则是那次在荒原他和另一员大将班柯与三个女巫的邂逅。三个女巫对麦克白说:“万福,麦克白!祝福你,葛莱密斯爵士!万福,麦克白!祝福你,考特爵士!万福,麦克白,未来的君王!”她们又对班柯说:“祝福!祝福!祝福!比麦克白低微,可是你的地位在他之上。不像麦克白那样幸运,可是比他更有福。你虽然不是君王,你的子孙将要君临一国。”本来麦克白不相信鬼神,对这些话语只会付诸一笑,可是,偏偏一场巧合触动了麦克白的心思。麦克白刚刚转身,便看见一个大臣骑马飞驰而来,告诉他考特爵士通敌叛国,已经被邓肯王斩杀。大臣告诉他,国王因他战功赫赫而将考特爵士转封给了他,而且国王晚上将去他家住宿。麦克白很高兴,与此同时他也觉得似乎那些女巫的预言真的不是空穴来风,自己真的有可能成为未来的君王。就这样,一个潜藏的野心浮上了表面,麦克白也从此走出了他从忠臣到暴君的第一步。
可是一个有野心的人不一定知道自己应该用什么样的方式去达成它,需要一个人,一个足够贪心的人来教导他。本来麦克白或许会就此罢休,可是偏偏他的夫人就是一个贪心的女人,心中充满了欲望。她听麦克白叙述了他的奇遇,以及邓肯王要来家中住宿,一个邪念顿时涌上心头:她想让麦克白在邓肯熟睡之际将其刺杀,以便让麦克白迅速登上王位。麦克白毕竟还良心未泯,不愿意弑君篡位。但是,麦克白的意志是脆弱的,经不住夫人接二连三的激将。有一次,她甚至说麦克白是一个懦夫,这是勇猛的麦克白最不能忍受的。在夫人的怂恿下,麦克白在深夜进入了邓肯王的卧室,刺杀了邓肯王,并嫁祸于国王的两个卫兵。第二天,麦克白又以谋反的罪名杀死了两个无辜的卫兵,销毁了一切证据。邓肯死后,邓肯的两个儿子马尔康和道纳本逃亡国外,被人怀疑弑父潜逃;而麦克白因位高权重,又是王室贵族,被大臣们拥立为新的君王。麦克白登上了王位,如愿以偿。尽管如此,这次弑君行为也让麦克白从此失去了安宁,就像《麦克白》中所说的那样:“葛莱密斯已经杀害了睡眠,所以考特将再也得不到睡眠,麦克白将再也得不到睡眠!”麦克白的内心也从此被内疚所捆绑,他曾看着自己沾满鲜血的双手,说:“这是什么手!嘿!它们要挖出我的眼睛。大洋里所有的水,能够洗净我手上的血迹吗?不,恐怕我这一手的血,倒要把一碧无垠的海水染成一片殷红呢。”
但是,以不义得来的王位必须以罪恶加以巩固。麦克白登上王位后,想起了女巫们对班柯所说的话语,他觉得十分惊恐惧,便派刺客去暗杀班柯和他的儿子弗里恩斯。班柯虽然死了,但弗里恩斯却逃去了,这也从此成为麦克白的一块心病。麦克白为了确保自己统治的稳定,又去拜访了那三个女巫。这次女巫派鬼魂对他预言,说麦克白要留心费埔爵士麦克德夫,还说麦克白可以将所有人类的力量付诸一笑,没有妇人所生的人能伤害麦克白,并且麦克白永远不会被击败,除非勃南的森林有朝一日向麦克白的首都邓西嫩移动。麦克白很高兴,但为了确保自己的绝对安全,他又派刺客袭击了麦克德夫的城堡,把麦克德夫的妻儿杀得一干二净,但麦克德夫已经逃往了英格兰。这一轮的杀戮过后,麦克白成为了一个十足的暴君。
恶人是终究要受到惩罚的。麦克白虽然杀了这么多的人,但仍然得不到安宁,还众叛亲离。麦克白觉得,他的人生“不过是一个行走的影子,一个在舞台上指手画脚的拙劣的伶人,登场片刻,就在无声无臭中悄然退下,它是一个愚人所讲的故事,充满着喧哗与骚动,却找不到一点意义”。所有的爵士都背叛了麦克白,前往英格兰去投奔潜藏在那儿的邓肯长子马尔康。马尔康在英格兰的支持下,举兵进攻麦克白。与此同时,恶贯满盈的麦克白夫人也因负疚过多而精神崩溃,患了梦游症,在夜间自杀了。马尔康所率领的军队来到了勃南森林附近,马尔康命令士兵们一人折一根树枝做掩护,向邓西嫩进军。麦克白在邓西嫩的城头上眺望敌军,看到一大片“树林”正从勃南森林向邓西嫩移动。鬼魂的预言应验了,“勃南森林”真的正在向邓西嫩移动。麦克白有些胆怯,但想到鬼魂曾说没有妇人所生的人能击败他,麦克白再次拾起了勇气。他出城迎战,再次重现了当年作为忠臣时那横扫千军的威风。但由于他的士兵不断倒戈,麦克白退入了城内。在王宫内,麦克白与麦克德夫狭路相逢。麦克德夫要为家人报仇,要和麦克白决斗。麦克白很藐视麦克德夫,说女巫预言没有妇人所生的人能击败他。麦克德夫说,让你的女巫告诉你,麦克德夫是不足月就从母腹中剖出来的,不是妇人所生的。麦克白醒悟了,明白了女巫的邪恶和模棱两可,但事已至此,他仍要和麦克德夫血战到底。最终,麦克白被麦克德夫斩杀,一代暴君终于落得个枭首示众的下场。
麦克白的命运是悲剧性的,他原是一个忠臣,女巫的蛊惑,夫人的怂恿,激发了他的野心,让他变得邪恶,最终篡夺了王位。为了巩固自己的王位,他又大开杀戒,成为了一个千夫所指的暴君。麦克白就这样一步步地堕落,变得越来越阴邪,直到最后被正义之师所讨伐。莎士比亚的这部悲剧揭示了人心的罪恶:一个看似心无邪念的人也可能会因种种外在因素而一步步堕落,直到自取灭亡,自我毁灭,就像麦克白一样。现实生活中也有许多的“麦克白”,他们是被世人痛恨的可恨之人,他们也是被命运捉弄的可怜之人,我只希望到最后他们能够幡然醒悟或是能够知道自己错在何处。
第五篇:《麦克白》读后感
《麦克白》读后感
李思瑶
《麦克白》是莎士比亚四大悲剧之一,它讲述了将军麦克白因听信女巫谗言,认为自己可以当国王,便弑王篡位,将善良的邓肯杀害。又因为猜忌残忍杀害朋友、朝臣,成为一代暴君,最终被正义力量打败的故事。我觉得它的悲哀不言而喻:善良的麦克白被女巫蛊惑,在野心的驱使下由勇敢变为了冷酷无情,并残忍杀害许多无辜生命,不思悔改。最后这个选择相信预言的人最终也死于预言中的结局。
通过这个故事,我们应该正确认识“野心”这个看不见摸不着却可左右你一生的神秘力量。起初麦克白“希望做一个伟大的人物,有巨大野心”但“缺少和那种野心相随联属的奸恶”,他“欲望很大,但又希望只用正当的手段”。在女巫的诱惑和妻子的怂恿下,麦克白痛下杀手,接连犯罪。虽然在他登上王位的那一刻,巨大的财富、权力满足了他的野心,但自己犯下的种种罪恶使得他在人生旅途中迷失了本真,变得猜疑、冷酷、坐卧不安,最终被邓肯之子和他请来的英格兰援军的围攻致死。野心其实是应该有的,但在于你如何实现它。犯下滔天大罪或是脚踏实地坚持奋斗,在了解了这个故事后,你便会有正确坚定的选择。而野心这个神秘的力量同时需要你合理地操控它,因为它是你走向成功的动力,也可能是将你推入泥沼的巨大力量。当今那些贪污受贿的官员难道是不懂这个道理么?确实明知故犯罢了。
或许这个道理太过于简单,我想只有细细品读麦克白的一生后,才会有深刻印象和理解。
